Probably putting together a new comp within the next month heres what i'm getting as of now.

http://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion/WishList/WishShareShow.asp?ID=1889626&WishListTitle=CoxBox

just wanna know if yall have any input on something that could be improved or what.

planning on getting processor to 2.6 (2.7-2.8 if i get a good proc) and wondering if case, heatsink, and fans and all would be good for this.

also wondering if the ram would be able to keep up with everything.

want to keep the price as close to 1600 or less as possible.



Thx for input <3

Free EVGA SLi MOBO with 7800GT (its a different model than the one you listed)

There is a mountain of feed back about this board, including a 56 page thread in the mobo section.

EVGA N41 [H] Review
EVGA Mobo Thread

I've hard this mobo can be picky about RAM, wasn't a problem for me, but here is some info anyway.

Unofficial RAM list
OFFICIAL RAM & CPU list

Hope this helps :p.


I can't speak as to the OC quality of the mobo, as I don't OC, but I haven't had any problems with it thus far.

So this is just some food for thought.

Good luck!
 
Well im not really looking to downgrade on the mobo as im looking to get this processor up to 2.6 at least. want a mobo that can definitely keep up with that.

basically my biggest question is if i would be better off with getting say ddr500 so i dont have to worry as much about how the ram will keep up. Any input for good ram thats about same price as what i have in there currently?
 
i think you have a fantastic computer and nothing could possibly go wrong unless you get that EVGA mobo and card. boy howdy, good luck on your new computer adventure, you sure as heck are going to get that 2.6 as long as you dont get that evga mobo. nothing can be improved, its at a state of perfection right now.

ps. hi
 
4400 = 11 x 200mhz, you have a 11x multy wich is high! so i dont think you need ddr 500 to achieve 2.6ghz at 1:1, i mean. if you are able to push the ram to 23mhz you can have 2.6 at 1:1 wich is good. OR you can still use a divider wich isnt not bad... the speed gain you will get from ddr 550 vs the price you will pay for it is too much i think. PC4000 could be nice tought..
 
You might be able to get those parts cheaper at ZipZoomFly. Here's a build I'm currently looking at getting:

* ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe - $214.99
* AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ - $458.00
* Corsair TWINX2048-3200C2PT 2GB Kit DDR400 XMS3200 memory with Platinum Heat Spreader - $220.00
* BFG GeForce 7800 GTX OC 256MB DDR3 - $489.00
* Western Digital Raptor 150GB 10,000rpm SATA hard drive - $297.50
* CoolerMaster RC-730-SSN1 Praetorian 730 Mid Tower Case (Silver) - $139.99
* Enermax EG701AX-VE-SFMA Noisetaker 600W Power Supply - $148.95
* Plextor PX-740A 16X Dual Layer DVD+-R/RW CD-R/RW Drive with Nero (black) - $72.00
* Mitsumi FA404A/FA404M-Black 7-in-1 USB 2.0 Media Drive - $26.99
* Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic Sound Card - $114.99
* Thermaltake CL-Po114 Big Typhoon 4-in-1 Heatpipe Cooler - $49.99
* Microsoft Windows XP Pro OEM - $139.99

All that for a total of $2373.38. Not too bad, I think. The only thing with ZipZoomFly is that they don't have as much selection as Newegg, but they did have everything I wanted.
